Topic 1. The Old Internet
|
|
|
|
Finally we can get this newsletter rolling!
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I sit there and wish that the Internet
|
|
was the same as it was so long ago. A magical wild west,
|
|
filled with originality, minimalism, and all around amazing.
|
|
According to Cheapskate's Guide[1], it's showing signs of coming
|
|
back... slowly. To me the old internet isn't just slow dialup internet,
|
|
it's that - and more. The terrible web design, the crazy chats
|
|
happening on IRC servers across the globe. It was paradise, before all
|
|
the drama, before all the toxicity, before everything we have today.
|
|
It was freedom digitalized.
|
|
|
|
There's a few projects that try to encapsulate the old internet,
|
|
namely The Old Net [2], Wiby[3], and Textfiles[4]. These alone are very
|
|
cool projects, some of which inspired this little newsletter.
|
|
As you can tell, we have a lot to say and we're planning it out slowly.
|
|
|
|
On our GitDab (gitdab.com/cc), you'll find this newsletter, plus some other
|
|
fun things we create while making CC. If you want, you can fork the project
|
|
and submit your own text in!
